I just wish they could sing! As a SAILOR MOON FAN and a director of theatre, theatre teaching artist and actress, I KNOW there are singers out there who could portray these roles beautifully and sing well.
and hey, there absolutely are! we've got nearly 30 years of Sera Myu to prove that. i still think these girls were nice, even if not the best there ever have been.
I’d be so happy to see this. My boyfriend wouldn’t even understand how deeply happy I’d be seeing this. It was suuuuch a huge part of my childhood to me. And because I’m a boy and it’s not the norm, I couldn’t talk about Sailor Moon with friends. But I still caught every episode after school on Cartoon Network
@@omarcogle1965 I actually watched the entire redub (available on Hulu) with my boyfriend and he loved it. He never watched because while he was young when it was on (two years older than me) he had two older brothers who would have mercilessly made fun of him… it was great to watch and even better seeing the much more accurate dub! No more cousins! We get full on lesbians and many other fun stuff haha. After finishing we started Crystal and despite the hate on the first season or two, we LOVED it! The story is MUUUCH faster but has more details never included in the original. We did miss the characterization though. Season three and the season four two part movie definitely brought back the characters we love and a much better art style since a lead artist from the original anime returned.
I went to the live show in New York, and they sounded so good. This video really really does not reflect how good they were. This looks like it was the media preview/ sound system testing day. They had just flown in from Japan and were pretty exhausted from the trip.
people paid for that performance but they were worse than amateur singers. if they were not professional misical actors, yes, i would say they are not that bad (but also definitely not good)
@@user-tg2fn8mz7z I don't think you understand. This isn't actually a musical. It's hardcore dancing with some dialogue and like maybe 8 songs at most? This isnt your normal broadway show. Dancing comes first here before the singing.
@@watashi-tachisailorguardia228 What, _this,_ hardcore dancing?? Come on, most characters sound awful even when they're barely moving. This is just an incredibly amateurish and unprofessional performance, and it shouldn't be advertised as professional. Go watch Sera Myu and you'll see the actors dancing and singing simultaneously all the time (and sometimes mixing fighting in the dancing), and they sound great from beginning to end. THAT's hardcore, not this stuff.
@@elenadl906 I was referring to the whole show. This is technically a part of Sera Myu too anyway, obviously I've watched all the other musicals. Also I mean, they're moving pretty much throughout the entire thing, the casting of this show is to blame, they seeked out a mix of singers and dancers (i don't believe many had even done theatre before, I think a few were even J-pop idols?) and then it appears they seem to have thought they could be able to just teach each other the others' skill during rehearsal from scratch
idk why but it sounds so funny that its so professional and they sound like they are in a high school production x'D sorry probably the live feed from the feed and they can actually sing irl but just sounds funny
No. It isn't. And yet, thousands manage it on and off Broadway every single year, and that's before you get into the amateur productions. It's not easy, but even with as difficult as it is, you'd think Venus would be less incredibly flat for her very first singing line.
@@AndaraBledin No but the thing is, in Broadway SINGING is given more of an emphasis. This show has a more emphasis on DANCE. The story is told through dance with very little dialogue and a FEW songs.
Broadway Ensembles and competitive Show Choirs would give them a run for their money. At a bare minimum if they struggled this much, they should have been kind enough to help them out with a booth ensemble back-stage helping to hold the song together (4 to 8 singers that sing into microphones off-stage). They do this for the musical Cats, though that's because the dancing is Cats is MUCH more difficult, as they do tap-dance, ballet, leaps, passe turns/spins, tumbles, lifts, and even cartwheels in some sections! The choreography here shouldn't be too difficult for a physically fit, well trained singer to manage.
Have you ever seen Sera Myu? They sing and dance simultaneously all the time. And they sound GREAT. This just sounds awfully amateurish and unprofessional.
It can be done. If you have the talent and practice a ton, you can get good at singing while dancing. I used to practice singing while jogging in place or doing choreography for 2-4 hours a day to get in shape for my job performing dance music 4 hours a night. If I sounded like the people in this video, I would have been fired on the spot.
They sound out of breathe. With all the choreography and movements I won’t be mad if they did lipsync to their audio recording, I would actually understand.
@@minsuhlikeduh wow that's rude. Performances always sound better live but my fav performance there was not the sailor moon thing literally 4 months later I went back to see TXT Debut USA showcase in the same place which was better as in performance but really badly organized lines
@@colleenstringer71 Was I being rude? i was being super honest, Give me the link if there's a video of em singin live much better than that Cuz I feel no specific power from them, I wouldve regretted so bad if i had paid for that show
Not the best version of the song, but I do admit after not having any sailor moon musical outside of Japan, having something like this is better than nothing. But if you want to do the song and the series justice, look and listen to one of the past Live Action shows and you have an idea of the standard and practice you need to set for yourself. Taxedo Mask as well as Queen Beryl moments when they sing is a nice bonus though.
Yeah I'm pretty confused, it looks like a relatively big performance and they're clearly not singers. I got so excited when I saw "Sailor Moon musical," would have been mad to spend money on this.
@@jessicahorvath4757 U really wouldnt have in person there singing is so much better in the show was amazing and plus even if their singing still bothered u they barely sing in the show
Ughh...not to criticise so bluntly but that was a terrible singing... but they are still cute so I guess it makes it okay? but seriously I’ve seen better at a high school musical...
This sure was impressive............. ..............until they started singing. Then I nearly did a spit-take at how horrifyingly bad this actually was. Good god. That was a hideous performance. That was like nails on chalkboard off-tune.
I went to the live show in New York, and they sounded so good. This video really really does not reflect how good they were. This looks like it was the media preview/ sound system testing day.
じゃあ、おまえが歌え。 Then you cheesy boy, sing with extreme dance. この俳優たちは、美人だが。 オマエはブサイク。 This sailormoon actor are good-looking. You are cheesy and bad-looking.
